Installing 10.4.8 on MacBook takes a long time, 1.5 hours formatted...
Apple gave me my PowerBook G4 12" when I was working there and it took less than 30 minutes to format and install and the new one I just bought takes 1.5 hours. All my certified Mac friends still at Apple say I should get a new install DVD set. I may be calling but any other ideas? Tech Tool that came with my Apple Care says everything is fine, but something is a miss.
Thank you.
Oh, ya, it was a quick format....took a long time formatting, trust me I know about zero'ing the data. The quick format took like 10 minutes, a full install on the formatted drive took about 70 min, 1.5 hours total. I was amazed, but thought if it works, it is worth it. No go. Called Apple on my lunch break and in 5 business days they will send out new install DVD's. I'll cross my fingers. So far I have used Apple's HW Test CD like the Apple loyalist that I am, then DiskWarrior, then techtool, all give it a clean bill of health. I'm very literate on Mac's and love them so, but I have a ton of application launch failures, which is why I formatted it, no change when it was a clean install (quick format) and if the HW is fine as I trust it with 3 tools telling me the same thing, it has to be my build of the OS. Theing is, this is the MacBook Intel Core 2 Duo, and my OS build is not on Apples spec page showing the possible builds that come with the OS. I find this strange. Guess I'll back up and format when I get the DVD's and cross my fingers. First I will try the archive and install and hope it works and pray it is the correct build that Apples web page shows, but any different build I think will do the trick, unless the DVD's are just jank.
ThanX all, message me in a week and I'll tell you if interested.

Macbook takes a long time to recognize power soure
Hello,
I have a MacBook running 10.6.8 that is exhibiting some strange behavior in regards to the power source. When I plug the power cord in it takes a while, sometimes as long as 3 minutes to recognize that it the computer is no longer running on battery anymore. Similarly it takes a long time to realize it's no longer running via a power cord when I remove the power cord from the machine. In all cases it eventually catches up and makes the proper switch, but I'm a bit concerned as this behavior is relatively new. I've tried swapping out power cords and it doesn't make any difference. I only have one user on the machine but could create a test account and try to see if this behavior is account specific if someone things that is worthwhile. Another thing to note, I believe the battery level indicator is correct, because often when it catches up after I've inserted the power cord the percent full jumps a couple of digits, as if it'd been charging for a while. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas that I could try to remedy this? So far, I've really only tried repairing disk permissions as I've never seen an issue like this before. Thanks.
-NifflerXHow long is "forever"?
Create a new user account. Log out of the original and into the new one, then put the machine to sleep. Any changes?

Takes a long time to upload a publish to folder site
i have charter.net internet service...3mb high speed internet service...
i recently built a site that is approximately 19mb...when i use either fetch or captain ftp, it takes a long time to upload (hours sometimes)...most of the time is gets hung up on the .png files...it is as it stops...i have contacted charter about the slowness...there response is we don't support mac...you don't want to know what i told them...
anyway...is there anything i may be missing or don't understand about uploading...the first few times several weeks ago, i could upload a site about half the size in about 10 minutes...charter will not admit anything on their own end...
any ideas would be nice to know...
michaelWell, the 3mb speed that you quote are the theoretical maximum DOWNLOAD speeds. Reality might be a little bit different depending on a host of factors. Anyways, UPLOAD speeds are always capped at some fraction of that just like with asynchronous DSL. But your subjective experiences are still different. As long as it is not reporting out errors and your site is actually being uploaded you should be fine.
As to why it is taking so long....I can't say. At first I was concerned that maybe Charter had a thing about filenames with spaces or a certain length or something. But you tell me, is your site being uploaded? -
Does movie download normally take a long time?
Trying to download a movie but it take a long time (been 8 hours), not sure if it the wifi speed. Any insight?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps. -
I don't know why it takes too long time to sample flat file.
I don't know why it takes too long time to sample flat file.
OWB Client 10.1
While importing a flat file of fixed width ,
in the screen "Flat File Sample Wizard" shows the text box number of rows with default value 200.
I want to extend this value to 700,000.
But, it takes too long time (over 5 hours) to sample it.
Do you know why it is happend? or How can i fix this problem?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
JWS.Hello,
Actually flat file sampling process goal is to capture the structure of the file. Thats why initially the sample size is set to 200 lines.
The question is why you are trying to perform sampling by 700000 rows? Are you expecting some change in structure beyond this mark?
If so, and you want to capture the fact that your source file is multi typed, your better prepare small file for sampling outside the OWB.

Why it takes a long time for my MacBook Air to turn on?
I brought my MacBook Air at a Power Mac Center to fix vertical lines on the screen. The vertical lines were removed. But since then, when I turn on my laptop, it takes a long time before it actually turns on. Sometimes, after pressing the power button, something seems to run at the upper left corner of the keyboard (near the power adapter) but it takes me practically hours before it actually turns on.
And when it is turned on already, I observed some unusual behaviors happening:
- Sometimes, while it is turned on, the battery status in the menu bar looks operating normally, but after a while, the trackpad will no longer work until the battery status says, "No Battery Available" and "Power source: Power Adapter".
- Sometimes, several horizontal lines appear on the screen then after a while the laptop will hang up.
- Sometimes, the sound sounds abnormal then after a while the sound no longer operates, and when I check the Sound at the System Preferences, it says, "No input devices found"
- Several applications do not work anymore, like Calendar, TextEdit, Reminder, Facetime, Preview and others.
Please help me figure out the problem. I cannot use my laptop as regular as before. I can no longer catch up with paper work deadlines because of these problems.Please, help me. I need an immediate response so I could try to fix the problem because I need to use my laptop right away. Pls help.

My Macbook Pro takes a long time (41 secs) from start to reach log-in - It used to be almost instantaneous, I'm running Lion OS. I thought this might be because I'd used a lot of disk space but I've now reduced that - I'm only using 40 of the 320 gb available. I have no games and I've unchecked the "re-open windows" option on shutdown. The rest of the preformance (once in) remains good.
41 seconds is actually a little faster then normal. Boot from completely off is normally around 45-50 seconds.
Your computer never ever came on almost instantaneously from completely off. You are confusing waking up from sleep mode and booting the computer from completely off. -
My os x mavericks got crashed accidentely while installing the windows 8 and I am trying to reinstall using recovery console, but its take very long time and forcing me to download OS X mountain lion from internet, is there any where can I get offline download of OS file where I can install directely OS X Mavericks.
Hi, original poster here. I did not realize this would generate more discussion so I never checked back. I still had my warranty, so I took it to the store and got it repaired. The original problem I had was a screen with this icon flashing when I attempted to boot it up:
When I took it to the store, they told me that my computer was unable to communicate with the hard drive. I had this same problem three times in two months where this screen reappeared. Each time I went back to the store and they said the cause was different, but they were all hardware issues that physically made it impossible to communicate with the hard drive. After the third time, they simply replaced my laptop and I haven't had the same problem.
So in short: The reason you can't reinstall or move anything when you encounter this screen appears to be because nothing can communicate with the hard drive in the first place. You can't reach the disk or anything on it. So I don't believe it's possible to do anything besides take it to a physical store and have it fixed. -

MAcbook takes too long to boot
From one day to another our macbook takes too long to boot. The problem is since we push the power button until the first grey apple shows up, it can take up to 30 seconds. Since the apple shows up it boot in a few seconds. All the process up to 1.20 minutes.
Also... once you are in OS X, go to System Preferences and Startup Disk. Make sure your OS X volume is selected. Sometimes this can change causing your system to look for another startup disk... and it needs to "time out" before it moves on to the next. This is most common after removing a BootCamp installation of Windows... but can happen for any number of reasons.
